2018 EU-wide stress test results
 
Barclays was subject to the 2018 EUwide stress test conducted by the European Banking Authority (EBA), in cooperation with the Bank of England (BoE), the European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB).
 
Barclays notes the announcements made today by the EBA on the EUwide stress test and fully acknowledges the outcome of this exercise. The stress test results in a reduction of Barclays CRD IV Transitional Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") ratio to 7.3% from the 2017 year-end position of 13.3%.  
 
The 2018 EUwide stress test does not contain a pass fail threshold.  The results will assist competent authorities in assessing Barclays' ability to meet applicable prudential requirements under stress scenarios.
 
The adverse stress test scenario was set by the ECB/ESRB and covers a threeyear time horizon (20182020).  It is the first EBA stress test under the IFRS9 accounting standard.  The stress test has been carried out applying a static balance sheet assumption as at December 2017, and therefore does not take into account subsequent or future business strategies and management actions. It is not a forecast of Barclays' profits.
 
While the results of the exercise will constitute an input to the 2018 supervisory review process, Barclays' capital requirements will primarily be informed by the BoE stress test, which is due to be published on 5 December 2018.
 
Barclays' 30 September 2018 CET1 ratio was 13.2%, and Barclays remains comfortable with its target CET1 ratio of c.13%, which is currently 160bps above the expected end state regulatory minimum level.
 
Barclays' Euro-denominated results in the EBA template can be found at www.barclays.com/barclays-investor-relations/investor-news.html. The standardised disclosure templates have been developed by the EBA to help improve comparability and consistency between the stress test results of participating banks. The templates include detailed information on composition of capital, profit and loss, credit risk, securitisations, risk weighted assets, non-performing/forborne exposures and major measures and realised losses in 2018.

Notes to editors:
 
The 2018 EU-wide stress test is a constrained bottom-up exercise that provides banks with a common methodology and templates to project in a consistent way the impact of common scenarios. The adverse scenario stresses banks' consolidated balance sheet and income statement over 36 months from 31 December 2017, based on assumptions determined by the EBA. Among other things, these assumptions are calculated based on 2013-17 balance sheets and income statements, apply caps and floors and do not allow for management actions.  The stress test outcome also incorporates provisions for now resolved significant legacy matters, such as Barclays' settlement with the United States Department of Justice in relation to Retail Mortgage-Backed Securities, and in certain respects do not take account of impacts resulting from banks undertaking meaningful restructuring and exits of business activities.

Barclays PLC
 
2018 Bank of England stress test results
 
Barclays PLC ("Barclays") notes the publication today of stress test outcomes for UK banks by the Bank of England ("BoE"). Under the BoE's assessment, Barclays passed the stress test with a 8.9% minimum stressed transitional Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") ratio after taking account of strategic management actions including CRD IV distribution restrictions. Barclays therefore comfortably exceeded the stress test hurdle rate of 7.9%.  
 
As a result, Barclays continues to target an end-state CET1 ratio of c.13%.  It remains Barclays' intention to pay a 2018 dividend of 6.5p, subject to regulatory approvals.
 
2018 is the first year that IFRS9 has been incorporated into the stress-testing results. This non-transitional stress test will evolve and be refined in future periods as IFRS9 continues to embed. The BoE assesses banks' performance on a transitional basis for IFRS9 but, for transparency purposes, has today also published the stress test results on a non-transitional basis. Under this assessment, Barclays' minimum stressed non-transitional CET1 ratio was 6.5%, after taking account of the strategic management actions in this year's stress test including CRD IV distribution restrictions. As noted today by the BoE, the 2018 non-transitional hurdle rate of 7.0% is hypothetical and subject to change in future years.
 
The minimum stressed transitional UK Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3.9%, after taking account of strategic management actions including CRD IV distribution restrictions, also exceeded the 2019 transitional stress test hurdle rate of 3.61%. The minimum stressed non-transitional UK Tier 1 leverage ratio is 3.2%. The 2018 hypothetical non-transitional stress test hurdle rate was 3.25%.
 
The UK Prudential Regulatory Authority ("PRA") has also confirmed, as part of its Individual Capital Guidance (ICG) and as incorporated into this stress test assessment, that Barclays' CET1 Pillar 2A requirement has reduced from £8.4 billion in 2017 to £8.3 billion in 2018.  The decrease in RWAs from £366 billion as at 31 December 2016 to £313 billion as at 31 December 2017 results in an increase from 2019 in the Pillar 2A requirement expressed as a proportion of RWAs, from 2.4% to 2.6%.
 
Subsequent to the update to the Pillar 2A requirement, Barclays' end state CET1 ratio target is currently 130 basis points above the expected end state mandatory distribution restriction hurdle of 11.7%.
 
The BoE stress test results for UK banks can be found on the BoE website at
